A list of creative RE strategies... Can you add to it?

[Jerry Kisasonak]

I thought it would be great to start a thread that lays out all the creative strategies that an investor can employ in their real estate business. Here's a list I started. So far I have 22. When talking with motivated sellers I think it's great to have this list in front of you so you can easily determine which strategy would best fit the deal and create a win/win for everyone. There's definately LOTS of room for creativity in this business! Can you think of any strategies to add to this list?
